R Pikes Peak-in Alès, France. The chassis is built around the safety monocoque from a Norma sports prototype that Dumas has used to win Pikes Peak for the past three years, with VW developing a closed-cockpit sports prototype-style design. By and large, the aesthetic previewed by previous renderings of the vehicle has been carried over but the ID R now looks race-ready, clad in its grey livery. "The cooperation within the group really helped us, particularly given the tight schedule".

The low slung prototype is fitted with lithium-ion batteries developed by Volkswagen's newly established battery plant in Braunschweig, Germany. R Pikes Peak motor lies not just in its extensive technology but also in showing that electric cars can be far from boring. R Pikes Peak is capable of getting more power out with a lighter frame. When braking, the electric motors act as generators and convert braking energy into electricity to be fed back into the battery.
